After reading Nomad’s bad news with his line breakages this morning, I thought I’d start this little topic. Below is a link to a great knot site.

What knots do you use for a particular lure/technique and lure/line. I’ll go first.
For Flourocarbon line I tie a clinch knot 100% of the time and I can’t remember the last time I broke off at the knot, even with old line.
For braided line 30lb and over I tie a trilene knot….but with braid below 30lb (I have 11lb braid on my spinning reel) I find that the knot tends to slip, so I tie the same trilene knot as above but add an extra turn/loop and this has worked very well.
